is there some kind of indian nation health-care obama angle? no, this is just just the old history of something that happened 300 years ago and they look at me and go for that is great. we can't wait to read it. meaning good luck. as one of the waiters said, anyone -- frankly i didn't care. i wanted to do it and we should all do things we want to do. it is nice that they sell. the fact is a lot of us in this profession write books with very few of us interested in jumping a long way back into history. that is partly because -- reporters -- don't want to run down but they have an intention span of a map for one thing. part because the lack of qualifications. if my qualifications were writing a c plus pieces in the history department on the paris commune of 1871 in case you are interested. is there at the library. this is great. you can check your thesis out of the firestone library which is great. my plan which i haven't executed yet is to check out a library, take it somewhere and burn it. but i haven't done that yet. anyway, i am not this guy.

and possibility by the obama administration of training detainee's to third-party countries in return for a peace agreement in the middle east. those are the things we face. a larger fight than we already had this week over how much money to spend on defense and the committee has five billion more than the president asked for. democrats are not happy with the money being spent because of where it comes from. there's not much they can do because of where the money is being spent. most democrats would not want to vote -- they spend money on increasing military retirees and not many lawmakers will vote for increases on health care fees for people in an election year. >> in the committee debate democrats said the bill has billions of dollars for weapons systems the country doesn't need. how do republicans responded that? >> that we need them. a simple disagreement between the two. >> what about the overall bill in terms of what an authorization bill does versus pentagon budget bill? >> this has specific authorization to do things. need to start new programs or continue programs that will

. >> republicans in congress have talked about a need to repeal and replace obama's health care law. are there any aspects you would repeal, and what would you replace them with? [laughter] >> let me, let me defer just a little bit on that. [laughter] i think more importantly we have to say that we're -- the law does a couple things very well and some things that it doesn't do quite so well. first of all, we know that it's not going to control cost, and so we're going to have to do that, and it's probably going to be led bethe private sector. by the private sector. and the second thing -- and one of the things about controlling cost is there's not a lot in this law about providing incentives to take care of yourself. and i would like to see more incentive for people to do that. and interestingly, just recently we helped senator wyden and senator portman introduce a bill in the united states senate that would set up criterion for people under medicare to begin to have financial incentives for meeting various milestones. keeping their weight under control, blood pressure, etc. and we'v

so even though the obama administration might not have won on the merits if the court applies the anti injunction act it will go long way towards saying they will eventually say that it is a constitutional tax. >> i don't want to get into that. there's an op-ed i wrote in your packets on that bat in the development only lawyers can love this could be a tax for anti injunction act purposes but not constitutional purposes and vice versa. the fourth circuit's which ruled applying the anti injunction act to bar one of the losses dropped a footnote to make that point. i won't go into why that is. it is very technical. >> try to do this in two minutes because people are interested. is going to be an argument that will come up. several reasons why this is not a tax and i will direct the question. it is not a tax. what something is called is not positive but it is the first approximation of an answer that they didn't, they tax the lot of other things. there's a reason they didn't, a tax. they did not want political accountability for calling it a tax. it doesn't fit the definition of a tax. a

more generally, i think president obama was absolutely right in january and february of 2011 to have praised the change underway in egypt. and if the united states deserves credit for praising what the president called this hopeful moment to open egypt to the prospect of universal rights, then we had a responsibility to follow through and to say whether in general, whether that hopeful moment is being pursued and whether we can still support. because, in fact, it is a really what much of this is about. the egyptians know whether or not they're going down a path, deserve to know whether they're going down a path that america can still support. and, indeed, they deserve to know sooner rather than later, rather than waking up one morning and finding that 535 people on capitol hill are going to say that they're on a path that america cannot support. so i believe that we should have been bolder. not getting down into the weeds about this or that article, but bolder in our statements in terms of the process and content of this constitutional development. next question. i have, yes, hillary
